Satellite-derived shorelines for Romania Black Sea coast for the period 1984 - 2023 using Landsat Satellite-derived shorelines for Romania Black Sea coast for the period 1984 - 2023 using Landsat
This dataset contains shoreline positions derived from available Landsat satellite imagery (1984 to 2023) for the Romanian Black Sea coast. The shoreline positions were derived on transects 50 m apart using the open-source toolbox, CoastSat described in Vos and others, 2019a and 2019b. Landsat coastal imagery was classified, and shoreline positions were detected at the sub-pixel scale...
Nine-banded armadillo and coyote detection data and site-specific data from the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge during summer 2023 Nine-banded armadillo and coyote detection data and site-specific data from the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge during summer 2023
This dataset includes (i) camera-based detection data for nine-banded armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus) and coyotes (Canis latrans) and (ii) covariates characterizing the environmental conditions at each of 100 sites sampled in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge during summer 2023.
Novel Use of Antifungal Nail Lacquer to Treat Candida Bill Infections in Ducks Novel Use of Antifungal Nail Lacquer to Treat Candida Bill Infections in Ducks
Captive wild ducks in the research colony at the USGS Eastern Ecological Science Center, Laurel, Maryland USA frequently contract Candida infections on the upper and lower bills. Various standard treatments were attempted with mixed success. Several of the Surf Scoters, especially, suffered extreme erosions of the bill leading to euthanasia prior to using this new treatment. For the past...
Urban sediment and fallout radionuclide input characteristics of the Hickey Run watershed in Washington, D.C., USA for 2020-2022 Urban sediment and fallout radionuclide input characteristics of the Hickey Run watershed in Washington, D.C., USA for 2020-2022
This metadata record documents one comma delimited table that contains information on the grain size distribution, fallout radionuclide activity, and geochemical characteristics of urban sediments within the Hickey Run watershed in Washington, D.C. Measurements include radiological activity, sediment particle size information, and elemental composition of source and target sediments.
Greater Everglades Burmese Python Stable Isotope Data and Standard Ellipse Area Literature Review Greater Everglades Burmese Python Stable Isotope Data and Standard Ellipse Area Literature Review
Burmese pythons are an invasive species in the Greater Everglades Ecosystem. Burmese pythons captured in the ecosystem are euthanized, and in an effort to learn about this invasive species, all euthanized pythons are necropsied, during which time samples are collected. We analyzed the stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen in muscle samples from 423 Burmese pythons euthanized and...
Peat Thickness Measurements from Grand Bay, Mississippi and Alabama Peat Thickness Measurements from Grand Bay, Mississippi and Alabama
Location and elevation data were collected along with peat auger cores during six U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) field activities from 2013-2018 in and around Grand Bay, Mississippi (MS) and Alabama (AL) and used by Smith and others (2024). Peat auger cores were described, photographed, and the thickness of the peat unit was measured with a measuring tape. Following collection, the...
